Having fitted larger wheels the next project was to upgrade the brakes. There are probably more opinions on brake upgrades than any other subject, so I was not short of input. The issue as always, unless money is no object, is to decide what to spend the cash on without first being able to test the end result. To keep to the TVR style, I wanted AP Racing 4 x Pot Callipers, but to make my life difficult I wanted them with the TVR logo as per the Cerbera 4.5. I called AP who told me they were not available retail, so I called the factory and was in luck.

Neill Anderson at TVR Engineering was most helpful in discussing my plans and giving advice. The first bit of advice was that the design had changed from those fitted to the Cerbera to those fitted to the Tuscan / Tamora. Original Cerbera callipers were no longer available so this meant a wait whilst TVR to supplied Peninsula with my callipers so they could engineer the brackets to fit them. 

At the front together with the AP Racing callipers I have 315mm drilled and grooved discs. At the rear the standard callipers are retained (as these have the handbrake mechanism built in) and fitted to brackets to suit the enlarged 300 mm drilled discs. 

Trying them at the Bedford track day confirmed they are indeed excellent, giving substantially more stopping power but with a nice progressive action. The whole project took 9 months from first conversations with Richard Smith at Peninsula to completion but it was thoroughly worth the effort!
